Quotes And Leadership Lessons From Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom

The second film in the Indiana Jones series is actually a prequel. That’s right! Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom takes place before Indiana Jones And The Raiders Of The Lost Ark.

Did you know that? I didn’t until I began researching the film to write this article. I love little interesting film trivia such as this.

Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom finds Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) teaming up with Wilhelmina “Willie” Scott (Kate Capshaw) and a precocious 12-year-old boy named Short Round (Ke Huy Quan).

It happens to the best of us. Keeping the passion alive is hard.

Trials and tribulations begin to take their toll. You no longer feel effective. Or maybe turnover has been high and you’re just done.

The good news is that you don’t have to have passionless leadership. You can regain your passion for leading like you can regain your passion for your spouse, your church, or your friends.

The logistics sector has seen a huge increase in competition over the past decade. As more and more companies enter the market, it’s important that you get on top of your marketing strategy in order to define your service offering and target your ideal clients. 

Refine your service offering

Many companies make the mistake of trying to be all things to all people. If you try to appeal to everyone, you will water down your core message and end up appealing to no one. 

The leadership, marketing department, or agency need to get together and decide on your core service offerings and target market. Are you going to focus on automation, state of the art conveyor system, pricing, or global services?

Leaders Win When…

What should a leader consider a win? I’ve contemplated this quite a bit lately. You’ve probably seen me write articles about what success truly means, what a leader’s responsibility is, and more.

We all need to consider what we consider a win.

You may think a win will look different leader to leader but wins don’t vary too far from one leader to another. Wins are typically the same regardless of the leader and their organization. It’s the way we define or explain the win that differs.
